A MONKEY-INFESTED CITY
_
The “City of the Gods,” where
Aioes are Sacred.
Twenty Thousand of Them Allowed to
Boam at Will Through the Town,
A railroad company in India has de¬
clined to carry ten thousand monkeys.
Most railroad companies probably
would. That such an undertaking,
however, should ever have been .sug¬
gested to a Board of Directors is a
curious incident in railroad history,
yet it is a fact. The Brahmans of
Benares, anxious to get rid of several
thousand superfluous monkeys, asked
the company to carry them away for
them to a distant spot, but the rail¬
road authorities showed no enthusiasm
in closing with the offer of such a
multitude of singular passengers. It
is a matter of common knowledge
that in Benares, the “City of the
Gods,” there is a very large and very
sacred colony of monkeys. Not' only
have they a temple, properly furnish¬
ed with shrines and priests, specially
dedicated to them, but they are free of
all the others besides. In Benares
they can go where they like, and,
although this liberty is qualified by a
certain measure of respectful opposi¬
tion when they abuse their privileges
too outrageously, the monkeys are vir¬
tually free of the whole city, private
dwellings and public buildings. Thus
circumstanced, with every favorable
condition for longevity in individuals
and fecundity in the species, it is no
wonder that the four-handed folk
have become redundant. Even the
Brahmans themselves have at last
confessed that there are too many
monkeys in Benares, and are now try¬
ing to rid themselves of a portion of
the intolerable burden of the sanctity
which such a host of reverend quadru¬
peds imposes upon them. The com¬
mon people, in spite of the sacredness
of tho,creatures, have long ago begun
to think that so large a population of
idlers has its unsatisfactory side, and,
when we recoUect that a monkey will
every day eat and waste as much
grain or fruit as an average Hindu re¬
quires for his weekly sustenance, and
that the mischief in which these crea¬
tures pass their time—having nothing
else, poor bored divinities, to do—must
entail a substantial appreciable loss
upon their human fellow-citizens, it is
not diffloult to sympathize with the
ape-ridden men and women of the
Holy City. Without contributing in
any way to the material welfare of
the sacred place, these animals, twen¬
ty thousand or so, constitute a very
serious tax upon the working pobula
tion and divert from other charities a
vast quantity of good food. Each
handful of grain which a monkey
wastes would suffice for the meal of a
mendicant fakir. At last, therefore,
it has been decided to take steps to
reduce the tailed population. The
monkey, however, is at all times an
intelligent person. lie knows as well
as any body else when he is well off.
In Benares he is especially contented.
Plenty of good water, unlimited vege¬
tables, fruit and grain, delightfully
shady nooks, verandas, temple corri¬
dors, etc., commend themselves to him
as acombination of attractions not to
be easily matched elsewhere, so that
he scouts all suggestions of emigra¬
tion. Once or twice the pious and
benevolent old llajah has Invited the
four-handed hosts to come across the
river from the city to his Palace of
Ramnuggur, and the priests have
actually ferried boat-load after boat¬
load from one bank of the Ganges to
the other. But the monkeys pretend¬
ed to misunderstand the arrangrnent.
They affected to think the trip a mere
outing—a day’s picnic. So, though
they allowed themselves to be taken
over in the morning with the utmost
complacency, they always insisted on
being brought back again in the even¬
ing. Boats ply in large numbers upon
the river, and, without asking for per¬
mission or offering to pay any thing,
they used to ship themselves as pas¬
sengers and return to sleep in tiie city.
On another occasion certain lands a
short distance off were specially set
apart by the princely Rajah for their
maintenance, and an immense number
of the animals were respectfully con¬
ducted to their new quarters and
invited to settle there. But no; the
monkeys found there were no sweet¬
meat stalls in the fields, no cake-shops
in the groves, arid they courteously,
yet firmly, declined the Rajah’s prof¬
fered hospitality, and caine strolling
back into the city at their leisure.
They had tasted the pleasures of a
rural life, and deliberately arrived at
the conclusion that they preferred
those of the town; so they gave up the
cornfields and the mango trees for the
cool courts of the many-templed city,
and the bazaars where lollipops were
always to be had for the stealing. The
present effort, however, this of deport¬
ing by train to such a distance as 8ah
arunpore such a large number as
10,000, is by far the most serious that
has been made, and if the four-handed
ones submit to be deported this time,
they must make up their minds for
permanent exile. Railway compan¬
ies have no superstitions about llanu
man ; they do not worship monkeys.
Thus, unless the animals are prepared
to pay their own return fare, and to
travel back in a respectable and honest
manner, they wij] have to bid farewell
to the beautiful old city where they
spent such happy years, and where
bones will dow have no chance of
sacredly reposing after death. There
is no chance of their ever finding their
way back .—London Telegraph.
The Common Lot.
One of the most beautiful stories in
Oriental or perhaps any literature,
whereby we are taught that no human
creature is exempt from affliction and
sorrow, is told in the life of Gautama,
the founder of the Buddist religion.
There was a young woman, the sto¬
ry runs, who had'been married early,
as Is the custom in the East, and ha l
a child while she was still a girl.
When the beautiful boy could run
alone he died. Her sorrow for a time
deprived her of her reason, and in her
love for her dead child she carried it
from house to house of her pitying
friends, asking them to give her medl
cine for it. A Buddhist convert,
thinking “she does not understand,’’
said to her:
“My good girl, I myself have no
such medicine as you ask for, but I
think I know of one who has H
“Ob, tell me who that is ? cried
the girl.
“The Buddha can give you medicine;
go to him,” was tho answer. !
She went to Gautama, and, doing j
homage to him said;
“Lord and master, do you know any
medicine that will be good for my
child ? ”
I< Yes, I know of some,” said the j
teacher.
Now, it was the custom for the pa
tients or their friends to provide the j
herbs which the doctors required; so
she asked what herbs he would want.
“I want some mustard seed,” he
said, and when the poor girl eagerly
promised to bring some of so common
a drug, he added; “You must get it
from some house where no
son, or husband, or parent, or slave
has died.”
“Very good,” she said, and went to
ask for it, still carrying her dead child
with her. The people satd: “Here is
mustard seed—take it;” but when she
asked: "In iny friends house has
any son died, ora husband, ora pa¬
rent, or slave?” they answered, “Lady,
what is this that you say? The liv¬
ing are few, but the dead are many.”
Tiien she went to other houses; but
one said, “I have lost a son; ' another,
have lost my slave.” At last not
being able to find a single house
where no one had died, her mind be¬
gan to clear,and summoning up resolu¬
tion,. she left the dead body of her
child in a forest, and returning to the
Buddha, paid him homage.
He said to her, “Have you the mus¬
tard seed ?”
“My Lord,” she replied, “I have not.
The people tell me that the living are
few, but the dead are many.”
Then he talked to her on the imper
manency of all things, pointing out to
the poor girl how the affliction from
which she was suffering was not pe¬
culiar to her, but was common to all
her fellow creatures, till her doubts
were cleared away. She accepted her
lot, and became a disciple.
The Esthetic Motmot.
The most striking example of abor¬
tive effort or at leaBt bizarre form of
decoration is found in the case of the
motmot, South American bird, which
succeeds in paralleling some of the
most absurd of humanity’s decorative
freaks, notably of filing the teeth to
pointa
The motmot is by Nature endowed
with more than an ordinary degree of
beauty. The prevailing color of its
plumage is green, the wings and tail
being tinged with a beautiful shade of
blue; a sable tuft, edged with blue,
adorns its breast, and a blue-edged
black triangle surrounds the eye and
extends to the ear. In addition to this
and to a long and graceful tail, it has
upon its head a crest which it can
erect at will
But, as if dissatisfied with Nature’s
attempt to beautify it, the motmot es
says an inprovement. It selects the
two middle feathers of its tail, those
two being usually the longest and
most conspicuous, as the objects of its
decorative design. About an inch
from the tip of each feather it cuts
away with its serrated bill about an
Inch of the web on each side of the
shaft, thus giving each feather the ap
pearance of a lawn tennis bat. Nor
is this done in a mechanical or instino- ^
tive .. for „ sometimes
way, a too anxious
motmot will begin too soon and before
its tail lias reached its full growth,
»„,l,, Id clip away „ lh« wrou* fartt
en. thin disfiguring itself ev™ in mot
mot estimation, in this respect being
not unlike the young mules of the hu
man family who, ratiier than not
shave at all. will sometimes use the
razor on tlmt much of the hair of the
bead as wanders down in front of the
ears.
lt was formerly supnosed that the
motmot wore away the web from its
tail feathers by constantly turning
around while sitting on its nest, and
when IVaferton explained the real
reason for the condition of the feath
ers he was laughed at. Recently
'
however, captive birds have been seen
to perform the cutting operation.—/.

A Chinese Restaurant.
You have never dined, reader, at a
Chinese restaurant. You enter and
perch upon a stool near a large square
table. The next moment the atteBd
ant has put down in front of you a
tea-pot filled with fresh, boiling tea,
a tea-cup one-third the size used by
Americans, two ebony chop sticks, a
porcelain spoon, a tiny liqueur-bowl,
and a saucer filled with a chocolate
fluid called se-yu. This Is a hybrid
between salt and dilute Worcestershire
sauce. The first course is cold roast
chicken, served with pickled perfumed
turnip. The flesh is tender, snow
white and free from sauce. It is cut
into small pieces, but these are ar¬
ranged so as to preserve the outline of
the fowl. Y r ou seize a piece with your
chojesticks, dip in the sauce, and then
eat it in solemn silence. The next
course is fresh fish, steamed, boiled, or
fried whole and covered with a dark
and very aromatic sauce. With it is
served a bowl heaped to overflowing
I with rice. It is cooked as only the
Chinese can—each grain soft and ten¬
der, and distinct from its fellows.
Next appears a howl of chicken soup,

season, aggregating seven and a half
tons of good hay—“as much as he would
have secured had the manure been scat
tered over three times as much ground.
Nearly all farmers know that grain ns
usually secured will sweat more or less
in the mow. This is not usually con
sidered injurious,and except with barley ;
does not usualiv prove so. We have !
known bright barley, H got in without
rain, so , badly ? injured . by sweating . in the .,
mow that the grain w <as musty and unfit

more readily than any other grain, and I
therefore greater care must be observed
in getting it in the barn in first-class
condition.
If there is reason to believe that the
barnyard manure contains weed seeds it j
should be used as fop dressing for wheat, j
Most annual or biennial weeds will give
no trouble if plowed under, though
many will remain on the soil, to be turned
up the next time the field is plowed.
The very best way to use manure filled
with weed seeds is to top-dress some
run down grass land which is to be
plowed next spring for common pota¬
toes. Whether the weeds sprout or not,
their destruction is certain, provided the
hoed crop is well cared for.
Moutrliold Hints and Recipes.
A pinch of salt assists the housekeeper
to beat the white of eggs quickly.
Fruit stains upon table linen may bo
removed by rubbing with the juice of s
ripe tomato.
Dry salt applied every day and brushed
into the roots will make the hair silky
and cause it to glow. Do not continue
but a* year, or two at longest, as it is a
strong tonic.
To make Spanish puffs, put into o

two heaped teaspoonfuls of starch and
one even teaspoonful of powdered borax.
Dissolve, and ring 6 through it collars,

They will be stiff as pasteboard, An
other way to make starch very stiff is to
use equal quantities of starch and Epsom
salts, using only half the usual quantity
of the former.
To make ragan pickle, take two gal¬

white mustard seed, one gill of salt;
boil together, stirring well, for two
hours; take from the fire and add the
spices and put in tight jars.
To cleanse the woodwork around

A Hare and a Tortoise once decided to

of victory, he remarked to himself, “I
